Abstract:
The present invention relates to an air purifier comprising a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet. A filter module, a power supply module, a drive module and a processing module are sequentially arranged in the housing along an airflow direction. The drive module gives a drive force to the air, so that the air enters into the housing from the air inlet, then in turn flows through the filter module, the power supply module, the drive and processing modules. The filter module filters out large particle pollutants in the air such as dust. The power supply module is used to supply power to the drive module and the processing module. The processing module is used to remove bacteria and organic pollutants in the air. Therefore, the degree of air purification can be improved, so that the air is purified to the ideal state as much as possible.
Abstract:
A chemical/biological vehicle survivability barrier (CVSB) has an inflatable air beam shelter (IABS), also referred to as a tunnel-like enclosure, for inserting and coupling to the interior of a vehicle. The CVSB further has at least one air handling and power unit (AHPU) coupled to an exterior fitting of the IABS. The AHPU withdraws potentially contaminated air from inside the tunnel-like enclosure, filtrates the air by removing contaminants from the air withdrawn, and returns the filtrated air back into the tunnel-like enclosure.
Abstract:
A built-in apparatus and method for treating air including a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet. An air mover positioned near the air outlet is configured to draw the air through the air inlet. The housing encloses an air treatment zone, such as including an oxidizing zone, and an ozone removal zone positioned downstream of the air treatment zone and oxidizing zone. The air treatment zone includes UV light and/or ozone that partially oxidizes the chemical contaminants in the air treatment zone. A catalyst in the oxidizing zone oxidizes elements within the air treatment zone. The ozone removal zone includes a second, different catalyst material. A UV bulb that may or may not generate ozone is positioned within or downstream of the first and/or second catalyst materials to assist catalyst oxidation and/or self-clean the apparatus.
Abstract:
A device includes a housing including an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being configured to intake an infectious agents contaminated air, and the outlet being configured to output a sterilized air. The device also includes a superheating heat exchanger configured to increase a temperature of the infectious agents contaminated air by superheating the contaminated air, the infectious agents contaminated air becoming the sterilized air after being superheated. The device further includes a cooling heat exchanger configured to cool down the sterilized air and direct the sterilized air to the outlet of the housing.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes a blowing machine that is disposed on the vehicle, a duct having a blow-out port that faces an outer plate, which constitutes a vehicle body surface of the vehicle, from a vehicle inside, and an ionizer configured to supply oxide ions into the duct. The duct is configured to guide air, which is blown from the blowing machine, to the blow-out port.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed comprising drawing air into a robotic vapor device, exposing the drawn air to a sensor to detect one or more constituents in the drawn air, determining measurement data for the one or more constituents of the drawn air via the sensor, receiving a parameter from a transportation vehicle system, determining one or more vaporizable materials to vaporize based on the measurement data and the parameter, and dispensing a vapor comprised of the one or more vaporizable materials from the robotic vapor device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method are provided for a cabin air filter to remove airborne molecular contaminants and volatile organic compounds from a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The cabin air filter includes a supportive frame configured to suitably orient the cabin air filter within a ventilation system of the vehicle. The supportive frame having a shape and size suitable for supporting the cabin air filter within the ventilation system. A filter medium is retained within the supportive frame and configured to remove the airborne molecular contaminants and volatile organic compounds from air flowing through the ventilation system. The filter medium electrostatically attracts and agglomerates contaminants within the air flowing through the air filter. In some embodiments, the filter medium includes fibers treated with antimicrobial molecules configured to destroy microbes. In some embodiments, the filter medium includes fibrous materials configured to release a fragrance into the passenger compartment.

Abstract:
A method for controlling an ionization device for ionizing air for the ventilation of motor vehicle interiors. The ionization device releases ions of a first ion type at least intermittently. In addition, the ionization device is operated at least intermittently in at least one regeneration mode.
Abstract:
An air-transporter conditioner device includes a housing defining an inlet and an outlet. An electro-kinetic system is disposed in the housing to create an airflow moving from the inlet to the outlet. A timer measures a time period corresponding to the electro-kinetic system and causes an indicator light to illuminate when the measured period reaches a threshold. An arc sensing circuit detects arcing between the first and second electrode arrays of the electro-kinetic system. The electro-kinetic system is turned off in response to arcing being detected by the arc sensing circuit. An indicator light can also specify that arcing has been detected.
